July 9, 2024,Rund um die Kanisfluh CCW von Mellau

The well-known circuit around the Kanisfluh to the left. Has the advantage that you go up the miserably steep gravel passages and not down.

Had great conditions today.
Not too warm and not too cold
Unfortunately there were a lot of hikers going downhill.

Very nice long climb, beautiful panorama and constant variety between mountains, gravel, rivers and lots of nature

I've already saved the route 3 times. Now I've finally ridden it.

Yeay, finally some sun! The classic in the Bregenzerwald and ABSOLUTELY worth driving in this direction. Not the other way around as is widely recommended. Head out the beautiful Mellental valley and then down the boring tarmac road from the Gasthaus Edelweiss.

We started the round at the valley station of the Mellau cable car. From there, a great path leads along the river to Au. In the direction of Damüls, it's a 2km climb up the mountain road. The main ascent is driven up on a tarred supply road. With us, unfortunately, with quite a lot of cars. At the latest …

Herbert had chosen this beautiful tour a few years ago. Now, in the best September weather, we finally set out and rode it.
Technically, the tour is easy, with only occasional steep climbs and descents. However, a mountain bike is definitely recommended, as the path behind Alpe Wurzach, for example, is a bit rough, with some sharp rocks. Between the …
